More From The Old Magazines..


















Two little Greek children doing their folk dance..A young Russian lace maker and a Needlewoman from Spain..The pictures are so nice and something different to look at..

Then we have the neat phone..Can you picture people using that today..?
They are very heavy, I have a younger model and let me tell you, your hand gets tired holding the thing..

























This is a beautiful collar you can make..and I think it really was popular in its time..I know this, it took a great deal of work to make..
Well, that is some of the pictures from the magazines of the 30ies..Of course there is so much more, but my picture taking is lousy and can't show the real beauty..



Till next time, keep looking up.

Thanks for posting it. I love old magazines, but I don't have anything quite that old. Mine are from the '50s.

How wonderful to have a bit of history in your hands Rosebud. I love to look back at different customs and dress from other countries as well as our own. And I love old phones, we have several that are made to look like old phones but really aren't. Muddy used to make collars by needlepoint and they were beautiful!

Happy day to you! :D

Great images - I love info and images about different cultures. So interesting to think about how other people spend their days.

These are very interesting, they sure don't make things like they used to. The collar looks really oldfashioned, the way I like it =)
